A questionnaire for fans about the new album

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

First, because there won't be a third.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

No, but they spend too much time in self-indulgent side projects and touring for a quick buck instead of focusing on making a proper PSB album.

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

Dance music is dead. They're better off writing a few cracking pop songs.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

An album of exhilarating pop songs with interesting electronic production and sexy lyrics all of which could be released as singles but make a compact album nonetheless.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

Neil notoriously talks bollocks when describing what whatever sounds like and the album seems to be changing producers all the time so we can't know for sure what to expect.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

PSB are beyond their sell-by date as writers so bringing other writers on is a good idea. Too bad it's not Cathy Dennis but Diane Warren will do.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

That's what they've always done and always will do.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

Depends on the quality of the album. If it's fantastic, it may do as well as Nightlife. If it's crap, it'll probably do an Erasure Nightbird. PSB can never have another Very because they're too old, have ruined their status by consecutive substandard releases and their heart is not as much on it.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

No, but it beats a self-produced album any day.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

I'd very much prefer it if Richard X and Tom Neville did the whole thing.

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

No.

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

It doesn't matter just as long as there's *one* brilliant song there, which is all we could realistically hope for. But they'll probably have 12 songs on.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

I don't think they'd be able to get away with that these days.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

I don't care just as long as it's sexy.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

I don't care just as long as it's interesting.

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

Don't care.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

Neil should stop showing his triangular fringe in public. He should wear a hat at all times.

I think there are a lot of things about the 2006 album we would like to know. This questionnaire could be a fun thing of knowing the impressions of PSB fans. Please do it, I think it will be fun (17 questions).


1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

not sure what you mean.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

no

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

a new relentless and a remastered original Relentless

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

im looking forward to the "very electronic" hints neil as dropped lately

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

yes

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

yes - though i dont really like her stuff i think PSB will do something interesting with it.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

i would think so, but im not really interested in chart positions.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think

they can repeat a masive success (like very)?
i think its possible with proper exposure and airplay

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?
of course

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)
i think it would be great for TH to produce the entire album

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

i like to hear a proper duet between neil and Sylvia. i think they should write/produce a solo album for her. jake shears and rufus wainwright could be quite interesting too


12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

i would guess 12-14, but a proper double album would be great!

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

yes

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

a wide range of feeling

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

with Trevor is it ever simple?

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

extended, but i hope PSB will get some mixes done by Paul Van Dyk, Jac Lu Cont and tiesto

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

yes


Thanks

[lucienchardon]

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

A gay love song with Brandon Flowers would be nice.

[ArseSpanker]

I think there are a lot of things about the 2006 album we would like to know. This questionnaire could be a fun thing of knowing the impressions of PSB fans. Please do it, I think it will be fun (17 questions).


1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

It always seems to be the second one. Or rather the second one always seems to be trying harder than the first one these days.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

I don't know. If it's brilliant, it's justified. If it's rubbish, then absolutely. Although the term 'you can't polish a turd springs to mind for some reason'. I don't even know if that's true, however.

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

An instumental song could be a good idea. But only if it's good. Previously PSB have often just done an approximation of dance music rather than actually aounded natural doing it. I'm hoping that, following all the recent electro-esque stuff that's been slowly filtering into the charts the last few years, they may sound natural doing this now. However, why does it have to be that kind of instumental? Maybe it's time for Neil to break out a baton and bring in an orchestra.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

Do you mean an album that has a consistant sound, a sound that all the songs in terms of structure and instrumentation, rather than an eclectic collection of songs? If so, I'd have to say: Somewhere in the middle.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

I do like the idea, however, my idea of 'epic and electronic' (especially in relation to how PSB could do it) may vary considerably to Neil's. I thought 'Disco 3' did this. I would love something in the vein of 'Disco 3' crossed with Felix or Colder.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

Yes. In the same way that I think e-coli is interesting.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

No. I think they're probably on a genre defying jazz oddeysey concept thang. They want nothing more than to destroy what little remains of their audience and want to alienate potential new fans. Isn't it obvious?

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

As much as it pains me to agree with someone on an internet forum, I suspect they're too old for a commercial u-turn. I'd like nothing better than to see them do a Cher style return to the top of the charts. However, until I see evidence of how good Neil looks in lycra, I'm thinking they may be looking a tad um... senior...

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

How can someone who was involved in not only the second Frankie album, but also oversaw the careers of Seal and TATU possibly let us down (we all do irony here, right?)?

On the other hand, his production is normally great and Belle and Sebastian have done alright out of him.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

Richard X would be brilliant, although I'd settle for any number of people. I'd love to hear something really dark and cold like the artist Colder could make with them. Although that may just alienate the audience.

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

Of the people that you coould imagine appearing on a PSB song, Marc Almond would possibly be the best.

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

Depends on whether they follow up on the 'jazz oddysey' concept, in which case the answer is either 23 or 1.

Probably 12, in reality...

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

Yes, but only if it's good. And only if it's about deflating some pompous rock star's ego.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

I'd like something cold and quite dark. Happy and sad don't come into it. I want it to sound so hollow you can hear your voice echo when you shout at the speakers at Neil for writing lyrics about celebrity and then appearing in O.K. Magazine.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

Don't know. Whatever suits each song...

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

Don't know.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

Yes, I want to see neil in lycra to see how he compares to Cher. That is the crutch (if you'll pardon the expression) of their situation. THEY MUST APPEAR IN LYCRA IF THEY ARE TO RETURN TO THE TOP.

Thanks

No thank you. I've missed closing at the offie typing out this rubbish. I'm going to have to call the wine delivering pizza shop now, if my fingers can stop shaking long enough to hit the buttons on my phone. This will cost me a fortune and it's your fault my friend.

[glennjridge]

look, just give me beautiful pop songs. some electronic house sounding, some beautiful and pretty upbeat songs with strings and horns and interesting lyrics.
ie, more of the usual PSB.

a cover wouldnt be bad,but I dont like that the PSB tend to do a dance version of whatever they cover. feel free to do a beautiful and slow cover song.

as far as a instrumental song, I tend to favor hybrid kinds, like samurai in autumn where it at least has a bit of neil on it rather than none.

I dont care about looks I would rather them just be themselves.

[ClyCly]

I think there are a lot of things about the 2006 album we would like to know. This questionnaire could be a fun thing of knowing the impressions of PSB fans. Please do it, I think it will be fun (17 questions).


1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer? The second one

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material? Not really but it's always too long for me anyway...

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album? An instrumental (Chris Lowe style).

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs? Different kinds of songs.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?) Yes I do like the idea not a Release part 2 please !!!

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren? Who is Diane Warren ??? I would like songs written by various persons.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album? Not at all. They follows their instincs and don't give a shit about success and that's why I like the PSB.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)? I personally think that their massive sucess era is over but I do think that they can do well in the charts but not massive like it used to be.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn? Yes but not on all the songs please !!!!

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album) No I would like to have a different producer for each songs, don't care who it will be.

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who) Yes but I don't have any ideas of who at the moment.

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included? I would like 12 but I think the new album will contains like 9 or 10 songs.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist? They used to be good on that with Always on my mind and Go West. But Je t'aime moi non plus is not good at all so yes if it's made a la Always on my mind.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun? Both.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple? Something between the two.

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions? Dunno some were good and some were bad in both ways in the past so dunno, depends of who is making them.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album? Sure but I am sure they won't follow their usual path (1 album without, 1 album with) so yes it's always interesting...

[psb-freak]

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?
-First one. Normally it raises the interest anyway.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?
-A bit too long sometimes. Like now....

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?
-New Relentless. Need to hear more Chrissy.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?
-Different ind of songs, of course.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)
- Back to basics so I like it.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?
-Who ?

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?
- Aren´t people always looking for that. But maybe not that much.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?
-It could sell more than Nightlife. But I don´t think that they can sell as many as they did with Very.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?
-Yeah.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)
-No. PSB should produce themselves.

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)
-Not actually

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?
-I would like to get at least 15 songs but I think there will be 12.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?
-Nope.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?
- Release was a bit sad concerning the lyrics so we need uplifting now.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?
-Whatever they do is great.

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?
-Extended.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?
-Maybe new costumes. Like on Nightlife and Very.

[dVTB]

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

The main single needs to be the first single. It's not guaranteed anymore that Pet Shop Boys can release more than 2 singles to promote their album.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

No, they don't. They've been incredibly productive over the past 6 years, delivering 2 studio albums, a musical (plus soundtrack), a movie soundtrack, another bunch of songs for Disco 3 and PopArt, several remixes and some songwriting for others.

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

Instrumental songs don't belong on a regular PSB album.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

I prefer some unity, like Behaviour and Very; their 2 best albums so far. Nightlife sounded too diverse for my taste.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

I like the idea.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

No, it's an awful idea. An occasional cover is OK, but not songs written by others. The songwriting skills of Tennant/Lowe are one of the reasons why I'm a PSB fan, not the songwriting skills of Diane Warren. The demo of the song sounds awful, by the way.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

It depends on three things: the strength of the songs, their choices (pick the right single!) and of course promotion.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

It would be more than satisfying if they can improve the results of Nightlife.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

Yes, fully. The man does wonders.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

Well, I still want Jam & Spoon to produce a PSB album, but I'm happy with Trevor Horn doing most of the production on this albu,

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

Not necessarily. And if they decide to do so, let's not pick a gay icon. That would only create more prejuidice and limit their market. Sounds a harsh to say, but I think it's true. PSB shouldn't be(come) a cliché gay band.

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

Question #12, answer: 12 and 12.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

Covers by PSB are mostly great. One cover on the album would be fine, as long as it's not the lead single.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

A mixture of both.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

I prefer spectacular productions.

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

Extended versions.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

No, just keep it natural, like it is right now. No more dress tricks, or weird outfits please. Nightlife was a painful example of how the same trick doesn't work twice.

[Provider]

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

I don't care that much about singles or the order of release, but if they want som commercial success, it should be the first one.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

No. Rather quality than quantity.


3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

I tend to skip instrumentals whenever they arrive, so if they could place them on one Relentless-like album, it would be much more convenient for me.


4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

A similar sound. Nightlife was to diverse and confused, imo. I like albums where the songs have a certain flow between eachother, i.e like Behaviour.


5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

electronic: Yes, epic: No.


6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

I prefer PSB's own songs. After all, their songwriting skills are the reason why I like them. But some inspiration from other talented writers probably won't hurt.


7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

They undoubtly are. They are pop-musicians, remember?


8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

I don't think they'll achieve it, and to be honest, I don't really care. I don't have a problem liking a band not fashioned by everybody, as long as they make quality music.

Of course, if they work out some wicked dance routine, they might sell a record or two.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

Yes.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

David Friedman could be fun.


11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

I've always had the perverse feeling, that Flaming Lips and PSB could make the perfect popsong together.


12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

10


13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

No.


14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

What is a fun album? 'Electro-Schock blues' by Eels is all about death and misery, but it's still a funny album.


15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

Simple and low-key


16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

N/A


17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

Agree with dvtb

[Ray]

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

It will be second, but I'd prefer first.


2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

Yes. Bothering with side projects, pooparts, Potemkins and kikikokovas means more and more people simply forget about their existence. That said, Potemkin COULD prove interesting from the artistic point of view. But judging from what I've heard so far, it won't.


3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

Neither. Just don't bother.


4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

Similar. As long as it's not MOR similar, the way Reloose is.


5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

Yes I do.


6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

Eeewww, no. Well, I agree with ArseSpanker. It's as interesting as e. coli.


7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

Of course. As always.


8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

They can't. They're old, uncool, gay people who don't even play electric guitars. And when they do, nobody cares anyway because people know they only do it to pretend they're cool.


9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

Yes in a no kind of way. What was the last interesting ORIGINAL thing Horn did? (that o. word rules out Tatu)


10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

Richard X, Royksopp, Xenomania, Alan Wilder.


11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

No.


12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

10. 12.


13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

No.


14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

If 'sad' is Behaviour and 'fun' is Very, a sad one, please.


15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

If that's a choice between Performance and Reloose Tour -- spectacular. If that's a choice between Potemkin and Discovery -- simple.


16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

Extended.


17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

No long hair from Chris, please. And -- Neil -- please put on a hat. This time Zeus actually *is* right, that fringe looks... well... just put that hat on darling, trust us.

[BlueSwan]

1 - Do you think the main single of the new album will be the first one or the second one? What would you prefer?

It will be the first one. These days few bands can afford not releasing the most commercial singe first - PSB are not amongst those bands. I also prefer it this way, as a strong second single would probably be ignored if the first single flops.

2 - Do you think psb take too long time between albums with complete new material?

Yes. But I'd rather wait for superior material than get lots of substandard material.

3 - Would you like an instrumental song on this album (Chris Lowe style) or would you prefer a new Relentless with the new album?

The latter.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

Similar sound - that usually makes for the best album listening experience.

5 - According to Neil, the new album will be more epic and electronic. Do you like the idea? (If you don't like it, what kind of style would you like?)

Oh YES! Especially the part about it being "epic". I love over the top dramatic music.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

Yes.

7 - Do you think PSB are looking for a commercial success in the new album?

Not anymore so than usually. They're probably always hoping for commercial succes, but I don't think they go out of their way to achieve it.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

Not a chance in hell, but as long as they keep releasing great music, I'm OK with that.

9 - Do you trust in the production of Trevor Horn?

Most definitely. There are few producers I'd rather see PSB work with (one is out of the question: Dr.Dre). I'd like to see a whole album with him on board.

10 - Would you like the production of Trevor Horn in the whole album or not? (If you answer is not, tell us the name of other producer or producers you would like to make the production of the rest of the album)

I just answered that!

11 - Would you like a duet with other artist? (if you answer is YES, tell us who)

Yes, but it's not an important issue for me. I'd LOVE for them to work with a major US hip-hop artist, like The Game or Eminem.

12 - How many songs would you like to be included on the album and how many do you think will be included?

Would like as many as possible. I believe it will be 12.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

No. At least not unless they have a REALLY good idea for one. "Somewhere" was a travesty.

14 - Would you like a sad album or something fun?

Of those two options - definitely sad.

15 - Do you prefer spectacular productions or something more simple?

Spectacular!

16 - If you have to choose only one option, what do you prefer: extended versions or mix versions?

Extended.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

Sure, why not?

Thanks

You're welcome!

[jamie1978]

I'm only going to answer a few of the questions (the interesting ones) because I lack the patience to do it all.

4 - what do you prefer an album with a similar sound or different kind of songs?

I would like them to keep to a theme - electronic and gritty.

6 - Do you think is interesting to include a song written by Diane Warren?

Not really - she is famed for her MOR ballads and little else. Its not an arena the PSB's, or Neils voice, excel within.

8 - Do you think they will get over the results of Nightlife or do you think they can repeat a masive success (like very)?

Lets not delude ourselves here - Nightlife WAS a success. 1.2 million copies sold globally. A fantastic result for an act as long-in-the-tooth as the PSB's. I'd be happy, and I'm sure they would be, if it shipped over a million copies globally.

13 - Would you like they make a cover of one song from other artist?

PSB have overdone covers already. They are talented song-writers so I'd prefer them to avoid cover versions.

17 - Would you like another change in their look for the new album?

Yeah - lose the buttoned down collar shirts, polo necks, and cowboy boots of the Release era, please. Neil looked every day of his 50 years.
